Make A Joyful Table p.187

Don't you just love a dish that makes leftovers worth hurrying home for? This recipe packs a nutritious calcium wallop in addition to a bundle of scrumptious flavor, and if there's any left after a dinner is served, it reheats beautifully for a second meal.

1 1/2 cups (one 12-fl oz can) Carnation Evaporated Skim Milk *divided
1 egg or equivalent in egg substitute
1 (14 3/4 oz) can pink salmon, drained, boned and flaked
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
28 small fat-free saltine crackers, made into fine crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup (3oz) shredded Kraft reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (10 3/4 oz) can Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Preheat oven 350°. Spray a 9-by-5- inch loaf pan with butter-flavored cooking spray. In a large bowl,combine 1 cup evaporated skim milk and egg. Mix gently using a wire whisk. Add salmon, celery, onion, cracker crumbs, Cheddar cheese, parsley flakes, and black pepper. Mix well to combine. Let set for 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture is absorbed. Pat mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Place loaf pan on wire rack and let set while preparing sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine soup, remaining 1/2 cup evaporated skim milk, and peas. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until mixture is heated through, stirring often. Cut salmon loaf into 6 pieces. For each serving, place 1 piece of salmon loaf on a plate and spoon about /1/3 cup pea sauce over top.

Hint: A self-serve sandwich bag works great for crushing crackers.
